The Titans elevated Restrepo from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Restrepo was with Tennessee throughout training camp and initially made the 53-man roster, but he was cut before the team's season opener. He'll now get a look on game day for the first time this season, as fellow wideout Carnell Tate (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday, and Calvin Ridley (hip) is questionable but expected to play. Restrepo saw action in two games as a rookie with the Titans last year, catching three of seven targets for 41 yards.

Shaheed (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bears, Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle reports.

Shaheed will miss his first game of the 2026 season due to a knee injury that he sustained during the Seahawks' Week 7 win over the Chiefs. Tory Horton and Velus Jones are the top candidates to operate as Seattle's returners on kickoffs and punts, and Horton and Cooper Kupp should see a bump in offensive snaps in Shaheed's absence. Shaheed's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 8.

The Raiders activated Bech (forearm) from injured reserve Saturday, and he does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jets, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Bech has progressed enough in his recovery from a fractured forearm to return Sunday from a four-game absence. Tre Tucker and Brock Bowers will both be the preferred targets for Kirk Cousins, but the addition of Bech gives the veteran QB another set of hands in the passing game. Bech caught five of seven targets for 48 yards and a touchdown across the Raiders' first two games of the regular season.

The Raiders are expected to activate Bech (forearm) injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Bech drew the questionable tag for Sunday's game after logging a trio of full practices during Week 8 prep. He's missed the Raiders' last four games while recovering from a fractured forearm, but it appears the second-year pro has progressed enough in his recovery to make his return. Bech will likely work in a rotational role alongside Cody White and Dont'e Thornton and behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor.

Brown (knee/ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of ESPN and NFL Network reports.

Brown entered the weekend with the questionable tag despite being held out of practice Friday, and it looks like the knee injury that flared up Wednesday is severe enough for the veteran wide receiver to miss Sunday's AFC East tilt. With Brown sidelined, the Patriots' pass-catching group will be led by DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism and tight end Hunter Henry. Brown's next opportunity to play is Week 9 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Tate (shoulder) will not play against the Bengals on Sunday but is expected to be back in action following the Titans' bye for Week 10 against the Jaguars on Sunday, Nov. 15, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.

Tate was held out of practice all week while nursing a shoulder injury, but the rookie fourth-overall pick will have the benefit of extra rest courtesy of the Titans' Week 9 bye. Tate leads the Titans pass catchers with 34 catches (on 51 targets) for 413 yards and a touchdown through seven regular-season games, and in his absence, quarterback Cam Ward will have to rely more heavily on the likes of Wan'Dale Robinson, Calvin Ridley (shoulder), Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, with tight end Gunnar Helm also in the mix for a bump in targets.

Turpin (ribs) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Turpin continues to work through a rib injury that he sustained in Week 6 against the Packers. The injury will sideline him for a second consecutive week, and his next chance to play is Week 9 against the Colts on Sunday, Nov. 8. Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo will continue to serve as the Cowboys' returners on kickoffs and special teams in Turpin's absence.

Thompson (quadriceps/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Thompson didn't play a snap in Week 6 against the Chiefs despite being active for the contest due to a lingering quadriceps injury. He'll be inactive for Sunday's game, so KeAndre Lambert-Smith, Theo Wease and Derius Davis are all candidates for a bump in offensive snaps. Thompson's next chance to play is Week 9 against the Texans on Sunday, Nov. 8.

Wayne (knee) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots, C. Isaiah Smalls II of the Miami Herald reports.

Wayne was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but his ability to practice in full Friday was enough for him to avoid an injury tag for Sundays' AFC East showdown. Wayne made his Dolphins debut against the Jets in Week 7, when he played 16 snaps (10 on offense, six on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that Downs will perform his usual role Sunday against Jacksonville in spite of the fact that he requested a trade this week, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

It's been a tumultuous week for the Colts, who traded away two stalwarts in left guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner. Downs requested a trade shortly thereafter, but the team has yet to meet that request. Indianapolis has reportedly fielded trade offers for Downs, but despite the lingering uncertainty of his future with the team, there doesn't appear to be a desire to hold him out Sunday or reduce his role. Alec Pierce (heel) is remaining on IR for at least another week, so Downs is set to work as one of QB Daniel Jones' top targets against the Jaguars.
